  We scheduled the Braveheart Experience thru our local travel agent. This tour can also be scheduled directly thru Trip Advisor or the tour operator, Alba Experiences. James McKinlay is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Scottish history. His company vehicle is very comfortable and he provides water, snacks, and a dram of whiskey on the tour. We first stopped at the Battle of Bannockburn Experience for one hour. Next, we stopped at Stirling Castle for two hours followed by the Wallace National Monument for one hour. We had lunch at the Wallace Monument prior to climbing the stairs and visiting the artifacts. James also added a bonus stop to see the Kelpies at The Helix Park. I highly recommend this tour, as well as, an Outlander Tour by Alba Experiences. James acted in two episodes of Outlander’s Season 3 and his Mother’s family has the surname of Fraser. His relatives fought at Culloden. James has a vested interest in sharing his family’s history!

  Alba experiences with Owner James as our driver and guide was beyond Excellant. James has a deep passion and knowledge for Scotland and it’s history. Story telling while presenting us the facts is a gift only few can claim. James does it with ease. He was careful with my husband and I and walked at our speed with numerous comfort breaks along the way. I wish we had booked more tours with him.

• Experience the Scottish Battlefields through the eyes of a passionate Scot!

  James has a passion for the history of Scotland that pours out of him. He is proud of his country and so knowledgeable about its history. His love and enthusiasm is contagious. He told great stories and helped us understand what happened at these battles and why. He had also asked us if we had any limitations and worked with us for the very best experience possible. We recommend him and this tour without reservation! We had a grand time.

  The second of two tours with James and Alba Experiences during our time in Scotland. For those who've had their curiosity piqued by the movie BRAVEHEART, this tour dives deep into the actual events surrounding the lives of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and the their fight for Scottish independence. James again impressed with his vast knowledge of history and insight into the Battles of Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn. An excellent tour for those who not only want to visit sites of historical significance but also leave with a greater understanding of those who were involved. Another experience that i cannot recommend enough. For those interested in ANY tour in Scotland, you must give James a call.

• A great day exploring Stirling

  We had five people on this excursion with James. It was so much more than we expected! He is very personable & has a wealth of knowledge about Scottish history! He took us to places we specifically wanted to see & a hidden gem (Cambuskenneth Abbey)! We had a wonderful time & a memorable experience! We would highly recommend James! He has a passion for sharing his beautiful country & it’s history!
